Post by: Ian101 on July 07, 2012, 09:47:23 am
Took a member of staff on 2 weeks ago for 2 days a week.

Re-jigged George to take into account rate of work and now got blank spaces  :o

So time to do a little canvassing today.

Wish me luck its been a few months since last done any canvassing  :-\

Will report back later with results.

I will be happy with £60 new monthly work for 3 hours canvassing  ;D

Never set daily targets, use weekly or monthly ones instead.

The reasons are if you set a daily target and you don't reach it or when you are knocking you know that you will not reach it, you attitude can change and people pick up on these signals, the same applies when you are picking up customers right, left and centre, you start to feel invinceable and then you start to get more, because of the positive signals that are flying out of you.

If you have a target of wanting x amount of customers break in down into a easly managed targets that are achievable over a certain period of time.

Mick you don't know if you have no orders yet, the amount of time I have canvassed with no effect only to get a phone call months later from a card or leaflet I left, I kid you not I took a phone call 2 weeks ago and did a 1st clean for £75 and now have it as a bi monthly for £50 ,this was from a card I dropped in a local village last summer.

Got a phone call yesterday evening couldn't even remember where it was - she had to describe the location to me -  finally I remembered - probably about 2 months ago shoved a leaflet through a minger with a SOLD sign on!!!! :D

I tend not to set targets . I will be doing a mass leaflet drop of 5000 flyers over the next 2 months .

And hope to gain around 100 custys which will be really good for 5000 flyers with some knocking after a few days of drop . Mike
